Summary: Please write crypto checksum of the new database to output

Initial Comment:
Hi,

paranoid as I am, I am concerned about somebody 
exchanging the new database with a forged one.

This could be made a little harder if aide would 
calculate cryptographic checksums of the new database 
file on the fly while creating it, and write these 
checksums to its output as part of the aide report.

The code to create such a checksum should already be 
present in aide (*grins*), so implementing this 
should be no big challenge.

Greetings
Marc
